Trump is losing seniors to some extent. But holding on to these folks under 50. Guessing with steady jobs, income 50-100 thousand. Lost the link but here is a bit more:

Guardian:
Romney’s announcement drew immediate criticism. Joe Lockhart, a former White House press secretary under Bill Clinton, tweeted: “Riddle me this Senator Romney. You voted to remove the president [from] office for crimes against the state, yet now you believe that same president should have the right to nominate a supreme court justice. A president you thought was unfit to continue to serve. Explain?”

What's to explain, you're wasting your time. He can't be the Christian that stood in the way of a real shot at reversing Roe v Wade. ...their behavior was explained yonks ago, and they never deviate, his hypocrisy is a virtue in government.

Tragically, I think it's possible the more principled are going to find that they've ridden their high horse straight into a Christian Theocracy...
The latest fad is a poverty social. Every woman must wear calico,
and every man his old clothes. In addition each is fined 25 cents if
he or she does not have a patch on his or her clothing. If these
parties become a regular thing, says an exchange, won't there be
a good chance for newspaper men to shine?

How is it possible that the Democrats with 58% of the popular vote in the last Senate elections have a minority in the Senate?

Rural county near the North woods (I've been there) votes to not bring Somalis (the state would pay to resettle)

Washington (CNN) Genes, genes, genes. If you're President Donald Trump, it's about genes.

"You have good genes, you know that, right?" Trump said at a recent campaign rally. "You have good genes. A lot of it is about the genes, isn't it, don't you believe? The racehorse theory. You think we're so different? You have good genes in Minnesota."
The President was speaking to a nearly all-White crowd in Bemidji, Minnesota, a city that's about 80% White in a state that's even more White.
Notably, Bemidji is the seat of Beltrami County, which in January voted against refugee resettlement.

"Every family in Minnesota needs to know about sleepy Joe Biden's extreme plan to flood your state with an influx of refugees from Somalia, from other places all over the planet," the President said.
But Trump's words recalled a violent history of eugenics, of how the "right" genes have been treated as a signifier of racial superiority.
"For Minnesota Jews, it's chilling to hear this language, which echoes the 'race science' used by the Nazis to justify the extermination of so many of our ancestors," Carin Mrotz, the executive director of Jewish Community Action, a racial and economic justice nonprofit, told the Star Tribune on Monday. "But we recognize that the President is choosing this language intentionally, celebrating the supposed genetic superiority of European immigrants here in Minnesota on stolen Native land that has become home to immigrants from all over the world, to sow division and hatred between us."

:bored: I mean seriously what's the point? :thinks:
Because the Senate is state by state, not national. Senators are elected in statewide elections, so a Democratic senator from say, Florida, would need maybe 5,000,000 votes to win, while a Republican senator from Wyoming could win win with a couple hundred thousand. The more populous, urbanized states tend to lean Democratic, while rural states tend to vote GOP, hence the national discrepancy.

There is no electoral college analog in any election other than the Presidency, all other offices are filled by popular vote.

Popular vote includes; gerrymandering, voter suppression and any other means of corruption.
